ABC’s Scandal has enlisted Arrested Development alum Portia de Rossi in a “top secret” recurring role for the show’s fourth season.

DeGeneres’ wife and Scandal superfan, Ellen DeGeneres, tweeted, “So annoying when people brag on twitter & that’s why I’m not tweeting that Portia just signed on to do a top secret arc on ‘Scandal’. Oops.”

Though Scandal executive producer Shonda Rhimes has promoted season four as a return to its “core,” that obviously doesn’t preclude the series from adding to its ranks. With no details about her role, let the speculation begin!
